Some Good news

 I am happy to report I found a new family doctor.  After asking around and putting myself on several waiting lists in the area since last December, I continued my search and located a young woman actually accepting new patients.  She seems really nice and competent.  

There are many without a family doctor in Ontario.

Calla Lily Surprise


 My friend S shared this photo of her calla lily from last year that surprisingly bloomed in her house.  It was a lovely surprise.

'A shadow is basically the absence of light. Fire doesn't have a shadow cause fire is itself a source of light, so the wall or obstacle you'd be expecting it's shadow to fall on, would instead be covered by the light from the fire. Hence, fire has no shadow.'  Reference here.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Wheels and Air Fyer Canned Salmon Patties


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  Here is my 'wheels' interpretation ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  I used a gold acrylic paint marker.

For the Dinner Date, I made some canned salmon patties in the air fryer.  They were very good.  It is a great way to eat more fish.  I put some Mexican Valentina hot sauce on the side.



Air fry at 400F for 8 minutes per side.

2 small cans of salmon
1 egg
1/2c panko bread crumbs
1 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 tbs mayonnaise
1/4 c milk
2 tsp dijon mustard

Mix all the ingredients together and form 6 patties.

Line the air fryer with parchment paper.  Air fry at 400F for 8 minutes per side.  I did not preheat the air fryer.

Here is a photo of a second batch I made after the first batch quickly disappeared.  This time I did 8 minutes continuously each side.  The first batch I did 5 minutes each side then another 3 minutes per side.
